Kody is so utterly mean to Janelle???

I’m finally on S18 and I’m actually shocked at how outwardly mean he is to Janelle—who is the most patient, reasonable, mature partne; she asks for and expects so little!! She is such a catch, seems like such a wonderful person, and he is so very clearly and obviously trying to drive her away like he did with the other two OG3s so he doesn’t have to make any hard decisions and it’s all on them (like everything else is). Like: his tactics are so juvenile and obvious??? It’s so unnecessarily cruel. He seems like a completely different person then he used to be. Some toxic right-wingnut Joe Rogan fanboy got in his ear about being Alpha or something is my theory. The transformation is just wild to me. /end rant
